Description

In Plotinus' philosophy, the One represents the ultimate reality, the source of all existence, and the Many represents the fragmented and individualized expressions of the One. The ego can be seen as a manifestation of the Many, a fragmented and limited aspect of the self, separate from the One. Goliath, as ego, represents the Many, while David, as the true self, represents the One. According to Plotinus, the descent of the soul into the material world is a process of fragmentation, where the One becomes many. This descent is reflected in the story of David and Goliath, where the ego (Goliath) represents the material, fragmented aspect of the self, while David represents the higher spiritual aspect of the self that remains connected to the One. Plotinus believed that the feeling of separation between the individual self and the One is an illusion. Likewise, the sense of separation of the ego from the true self is an illusion. Goliath's size and strength represent the ego's illusion of power and control, while David's small size and lack of armor represent the humility of the true self and recognition of one's own limitations. Plotinus advocated the return to the One through the process of henosis, or unity. This return is reflected in the story of David and Goliath, where David's victory over Goliath represents the triumph of the true self over the ego, allowing a return to the One. The stone that David uses to defeat Goliath can be seen as a symbol of the power of contemplation and introspection, which allows the individual to transcend the ego and return to the One. By exploring the parallel between David and Goliath through the lens of Plotinus' thought, we can gain a deeper understanding of the struggle between the ego and the true self, and the importance of transcending the limitations of the ego to access higher states of consciousness and live a better life. a more authentic spiritual life… 2160 x 3840 / 4k mp4 / 105 Mo / 44 secondes / 24 frames 1/1 collection 12/30 #FEPUM « Fix Eye Perpetual Uncontrolled Movement» a subrealist reread based on the masterpiece : Self-portrait as David with the head of Goliath Johan Joseph Zoffany - 1756 on view at : National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australie
